Some people think freeze-drying is a new way to keep food, but it isn’t. It actually dates back to ancient times when the Incas did it in the cold night air of the Andes Mountains. Today, a machine is used to remove all the water from the food, leaving its shape, color, and other features unchanged. In addition to making it possible to keep food longer, freeze-drying makes food weigh less. Less weight makes the food easier to carry, which is important in many situations, like camping or on trips into space. Freeze-drying is still done today because, over time, it has proven to be a very good thing to do.

What is the author’s purpose for writing the passage?
A.
to persuade readers against freeze-drying to preserve food
B.
to explain the history and process for freeze-drying food
C.
to entertain readers with a story about freeze-drying food long ago
D.
to compare freeze-drying to other ways of preserving food

What is the question?

Explanation:

Read this excerpt from The American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793.

Most doctors had predicted the fever would end when the cold weather returned. Almost all epidemics followed the same pattern, striking during warm weather, disappearing with the first hard frost. Daniel Defoe, in recording the end of the Black Death that visited London in 1665, wrote that "the winter weather came on apace [and] most of those that had fallen sick recovered, and the health of the city began to return."



Which excerpt from Fever 1793 connects to the historical account detailed in the excerpt?

Guns were fired on the street corners, and a cannon blasted in the public square to purify the air.
"The almshouse is closed. They want to protect their residents from the disease. So the fever victims lie on the floor of Rickett’s with little water and no care."
"Jefferson still comes into town every morning, though everyone says he’ll soon quit and retire to his farm at Monticello," said Mr. Carris.
I silently counted on my fingers: twenty-eight days until the end of September, then on into October until the first frost. Frost always killed fever. Mr. Carris said it drained the poison from the air.

In "The Case of the Deadly Drug," Stella Nickell poisoned her husband. She most likely did this because

The Empire That Vanished

(1) Using archaeological studies, and Greek writings, historians now know much
more than ever before about the mysterious group of people called the Scythians. (2)
Historians have long known that they were nomadic, barbaric horsemen and a powerful force in Europe for about 400 years. (3) These people ruled a vast area of land for several centurys and then seemed to have vanished completely. (4) Artifacts found in the territory that the Scythians controlled have given clues about how they lived and what things they valued. (5) However, no evidence has been found of a centralized community, nor do historians know what eventually happened to these people. (6) Historians believe that the Scythians originally came from Asia around 700
B.C., searching for better pastures and other peoples to conquer. (7) At its peak the
Scythian kingdom reached from the Danube river east across the Ukraine, the Crimea, and Russia. (8) Historians disagree about the size of the Scythian population. (9) Some think it numbered around half a million; other contend that it numbered only in the tens of thousands. (10) According to evidence uncovered by archaeologists, both the men and the women were feirce warriors. (11) They often traded their surplus goods and furs for crafted gold and fine ceramics made in Greece and central Asia. (12) The Scythians were especially proud of their adornments made of gold and precious stones. (13) They liked to show their wealth and even decorated their horses with gold. (14) Because of their fighting ability, the Scythians were able to acquire great riches. (15) Many of the Scythians’ gold ornaments found in Russia are formed into shapes that tell stories about their everyday life. (16) One elaborate gold neckpiece has figures of a resting calf, a boy milking a sheep, and bare-chested warriors with their weapons close at hand. (17) Into the image of a Scythian woman, another piece was worked, showing what the people looked like. (18) Archaeologists are still working trying to find out what happened to these people. (19) Although the Scythians left many of their treasure behind, researchers have found no trace of where these mighty warriors went.

I'll never forget the time I threw up on the morning school bus. I was too sick to go to school, but in third grade I had never yet missed a single school day. When my dad picked me up that morning, I cried - not because I was sick, but because I wouldn't get a perfect

awards for this feat.
